Membaca berarti paham dengan apa yang telah dibaca. Namun, dalam kenyataannya kosa kata siswa-siswa dari kelas sebelas SMK Islam Al-Hikmah Mayong Jepara masih kurang, jadi mereka kurang memahami yang ada dalam teks.

Directed Reading Activity (DRA) merupakan salah satu strategi yang dapat digunakan guru dalam mengajar membaca dengan strategi yang sistematis untuk mencapai pemahaman. Dengan menggunakan Directed Reading Activity siswa-siswa dapat memperkaya kosa kata siswa-siswa, jadi mereka akan lebih mudah untuk paham dengan teks tersebut.
